The radical solution: uninstall the application of the icon

Do not hesitate to contact an expert in case of difficulties.
Move an icon on your Alcatel U5
To move an icon corresponding to a link or application, you just need to hold it for a few seconds as before.
However, instead of putting the icon in the ‘Delete’ folder, you will have to move it wherever you want.
If you want it to appear on another screen, then bring it on the left or right border of the screen.
Then, release the icon once the correct screen has been reached.
Add icons to your Alcatel U5
To add icons, it’s best to go to the screen of your choice, then hold down your screen for a long time with your finger.
You will then have the possibility to add an icon of Widget, Shortcut Internet, or Apps.
Create folders for your icons and applications
Creating folders will allow you to better manage the icons on the Alcatel U5. Press and hold a few seconds on your home screen.
An option will then appear to create a folder.
Select this option.
Once the folder is created, you can drag and drop your icons between your screens and folders.
